"Supervise" for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: DPRK sent engineering units to the Donbas

North Korean experts, the NSDC representative Andriy Kovalenko, record ammunition defects and watch their use by Russian troops. North Korea sent small engineering units to the Donetsk region to accompany their ammunition supplies to Russia. According to Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Combating NSDC misinformation, this is due to the low quality of ammunition supplied by the DPRK.

Kovalenko emphasized that the DPRK's military fixes defects in ammunition and observe their use by the occupying army of the Russian Federation. "These military accompany cargoes, fixes a shortage and look at the use of ammunition by the Russian army. " In addition, he noted that Russia has become increasingly dependent on North Korean supplies to secure its armed forces. One example of low quality North Korean weapons is KN23 ballistic missile, which has also been criticized.

Back in June it became known that the DPRK has sent to Russia at least 10,000 transport containers, which can contain almost 5 million artillery ammunition. In addition, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received dozens of North Korean ballistic missiles. According to The Times, the half of the shells used by Russia in the war against Ukraine, which is about three million a year, is supplied by North Korea.
